    Molto Dolce

    A few years back I purchased a tin of Molto Dolce. As others have noted, it is sticky, gooey, and almost impossible to dry out. Well I decided to have a bowl of it the other night and when I opened the plastic lid that had been covering it, all the sticky, gooey-mess was gone, and the tobacco...

    Seasonal Pipe Switch

    I don't know why it is; but for the past few years whenever spring rolls around, something clicks in the old seasonal clock in my brain and I switch all my pipe smoking to cobs and my daily tobacco usage to Virginias. I will smoke my cobs all through the summer, and sometime after our first...

    Don't let the small size fool you - it can easily accommodate 3 Bull's Eye Flake coins. It smokes awesome and the draw is perfect.

    Just finished this largish Cutty. Saw the blank sitting there staring at me for the longest time and decided to do something with it. I should have taken the sides in more up by the bowl.

    Reconditioned 19th century Meer

    This pipe was in a non-smoking broken condition when I received it as a gracious gift from Condor1 and Weezel. The stinger/tenon which I initially thought was metal, wasn't. I was going to re-use it in the rebuild but it crumbled to dust after I gently sanded it and was going to reinsert it into...

    Cutty Question

    I was wondering if someone would please tell me what the correct location is for the Spur? Below is a picture of one I'm almost finished and a good friend mentioned that the spur was probably out of position. I know there is no randomness in making any shape, and there has to be a precise...

    A Picture Of My Import Duty From Alberta/Canada

    I know there are a lot of threads on the topic of import costs on tobacco but I wanted to share today's experience on an order that the postal worker brought to my door. I was so shocked I asked if I could take a picture of the Canadian import duty form and he let me. He was most sympathetic...

    Second Egg

    This is my second try at an egg. The stem/shank intersection isn't the best but I think after emailing back and forth a few time with a friendly artisan, that issue is in the past. Anyway, here it is. I'm going to post on the makers forum as well to hopefully receive their input as well. Oh, and...

    First Egg - Rusticated With Slightly Bent Stem

    This is my first attempt at an egg. I rusticated it because the briar wasn't the best for a smooth. Hope it's 'eggie' enough.
